You can blame me for the recent spate of messages intended for COFF going
also to TUHS.  The thread on instruction set emulation/translation had
moved far off-topic for TUHS so I sent my reply to COFF, copying TUHS on
the message announcing the transfer of the topic.  But I used CC, not BCC,
so some further replies in the thread went to both lists.

Sorry about that, Chief!
